{Not} Back-to-School Blog Hop ~ Meet the Students

By

It's Student Photo Week at iHomeschool Network's {Not} Back-to-School Blog Hop. I would like to introduce to you the 2013/2014 students of Pursuit Academy.

We have students here, there, and everywhere. And each year we have homeschooled it has been different. This year we have one starting Cosmetology school in October, one in our public high school, and two homeschooled 3rd/4th graders. Here they are:

I'll update this with her 1st day photo once she starts school.

Kyndal is our oldest. She is 18 years old and graduated from public high school in May. She is enrolled in cosmetology school and begins her classes on October 1st. She will spend 8 weeks doing all of her classwork and then will move out to the salon for training. Her schooling will be complete in September of 2014.



Dawson is our second child. He is 16 years old and is a junior at the public high school where I graduated. This year he is taking Algebra I, U.S. Government, Chemistry, English III, Drawing/Painting, Multi-Media, and FTA (tutoring in Geometry to work toward his A+ Scholarship requirements).



Eli is our third child. He is 9 1/2 years old and is in his second year of homeschooling. Eli is currently a 3rd grader and will promote to 4th grade in January (although we call our younger two 4th graders already). His classes this year are Old Testament, Grammar, Handwriting, Spelling, Multiplication, Writing, Personal reading, U.S. Geography, Science (various unit studies), and a year-long Literature study with Paddle to the Sea by Holling C. Holling.



Brynne is our youngest child. She is 8 years old and has homeschooled since her 6th week of kindergarten. Brynne is currently a 3rd grader and will promote to 4th grade in January. Her classes are the same as Eli's as they are homeschooled together.


If you would like to read more personal information about each of the kids, you can go to my recent post "U is for Us".

    Love the boards. So clever. =)
    Your year outline sounds fabulous.
    Yeah, thinking we will do a similar outline too for Road Trip USA. We may need to only do 3 lessons per week as I tend to get side tracked easily. I always have the best intentions, lol.

We all know that in this crazy world of homeschooling, we need all the (adult) support we can get. Please leave a comment if you so wish!

CTC Math {Schoolhouse Review}

By
We found our groove with math this year. I found a curriculum that both of the kids respond well to and seem to enjoy (as much as one can enjoy math). We have spent the whole year learning the ins and outs of multiplication and were just a few lessons away from being ready to move onto the next year-long level on division. And then an opportunity to review the 12 Month Family Plan from  CTC Math became available. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic. I mean, why mess with the methods that have worked so well? When I was chosen to review the product I didn't go into it with the level of enthusiasm that it deserved. We have been using a dvd/workbook curriculum with great success. The 12 Month Family Plan from CTC Math is a web based curriculum. As we have not had a lot of luck with those types of programs, I went into this review with a negative attitude. And then my socks were knocked off by how great it is. In fact it is so great that we are going to continue to ...

Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt (Schoolhouse Review)

By
For the past several weeks we have been reviewing Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt and the Old Testament and Ancient Egypt Flashcards  from Veritas Press . As we were entering into our more easy-going summer schedule, and had just concluded a two-year Old Testament Bible course, I was happy to try out this product as it appeared to be something that Eli and Brynne could do together, alone, and would act as a review of the Old Testament presented in a different way. And I was right. Each Veritas Press Self-Paced History program includes 160 lessons teaching about 32 events in history. They are designed for children in grades 2-6, and it is recommended that the student be a minimum of 7 years of age at the time of the first lesson. What We Received We received a full one-year subscription, for one child, to the online Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt program and the accompanying Old Testament and Ancien...
